[quote=Anonymous]My DH is reluctant to visit my MIL alone, though I visit my parents alone all the time. He just doesn't like to visit at all, and if I go too it is slightly more pleasant for him. Yes, it drives me a little bonkers because I end up spending more time on old people visiting that he does. My MIL once turned to me (my DH, my son, and I were all there) and said I was neglectful and didn't love her because I didn't visit often enough. After catching my breath I asked her why she was talking to me and not her son. She didn't miss a beat, she just said "Because I can't pressure him. He won't ever do what he doesn't want to do, but I can pressure you and you'll do more." Ah. Since that day I have refused to do the mental work of managing his relationship with his mother. See her, don't, go alone, go with me, whatever. I'll go when I can, and I'll be loving and kind, but I won't cover for my DH's lack of engagement with his own mom.[/quote]
